Lead singer for Two Mile Train performs at the Sugar Pine Ranch Rally. This year's rally was the last as the promoters decided to cancel future rallies.

Sugar Pine Ranch Rally organizers have decided to end the annual Labor Day weekend motorcycle rally near Mancos after a seven-year run.

The rally was a smaller competitor to the Four Corners Motorcycle Rally, formerly Ignacio Bike Week, held the same weekend in downtown Ignacio.

Sugar Pine co-chairman Alan "Grizz" Seaton broke the news last week in a message posted on the rally's Facebook page.

"The Sugar Pine Ranch Rally will be going away for good," Seaton wrote. "The economy was and is still not good, and I guess the timing was just wrong, but the board of directors and the investors have voted to dissolve Montezuma Rally Inc., aka Sugar Pine Ranch Rally. Thank you all for your support and belief in us for the past seven years."

Co-chairwoman Joyce Humiston confirmed the rally would not be held in 2014.

"We don't have enough support," she said. "I don't really want to talk about it. I would have liked to talk about the rally and how advertisers could have helped us out."

The rally was held Aug. 29 to Sept. 2 this year, with all of the usual biker rally staples: live music, beer, vendors and bikini and wet T-shirt contests.

"They basically chose not to be a part," he said. "That ultimately might have hurt them. I don't know."

Silva said he's sorry to see the rally fold.

"We didn't wish them any ill will," he said. "We're really sorry to see that they're not going to go forward. We think it was an asset to the (Four Corners) rally, whether they wanted to be part of the rally or not."
